attempted urban gardening, take 3:

THINGS!
yesterday, i moved my green beans into the RealAndActual ground, because they were begging for more dirt and room to grow. yesterday, they looked like this:



today, it looks like THIS!



that's my little shining glory on the end. it is Taking Over. in capital letters. :)



friday morning i got up at 6:30am and took my mom to the airport to visit my father for their 30th wedding anniversary. i got back around 7:30am and really should've gone back to bed, but instead i got a little manic, went to lowe's and bought pots and potting soil and repotted all of my plants. black seeded simpson lettuce and mixed greens.



well, almost all of my plants. i am trying to not overdraw my checking account by purchasing flower pots, so some of these guys will have to wait. the left three big peat pots are zinnias for my mom, the small one is spinach, then black seeded simpson and another thing of mixed greens on the right.



repotted spinach and arugula. i'm hoping that they will flourish and spread when given more room...but considering i'm making all this up as i go along, we'll see. :)



aaallllllllll thooooooooooose plaaaaaaaaaaaants. welcome to my backyard garden spread all over my table.



update on the shoe hanger: i added spearmint to the top right pocket. i also changed out all the dirt for both of the bell peppers and they seem to be growing better now. i also added some better soil to the tomato.

i've had one ripe strawberry which gavin and i split...it was excellent. and i think now i want to make a little compact garden box and fill it with strawberries, because my two little plants aren't producing quick enough for me.

i've also been working on a baby blanket for my new little girlcousin...i don't have any photos of it yet, because i'm teaching myself the stitch as i go along.

okay, actually it's because i'm lazy and it's always downstairs. anyway...the garden is coming along nicely. and i am a little obsessed. *shrug* it happens.
